8 Connie StreetBentleigh East

With relaxed coastal appeal and rarely seen outdoor entertaining elements, this streamlined home comes with family-wise 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom accommodation, supplemented by a dual level townhouse/studio (with 5th bedroom, bathroom, kitchen & living areas) - perfect to rent out, provide kids' independence or place the in-laws. A sublime showcase of tall French doors, Baltic Pine floors and lofty interiors, this timeless home sees soaring ceilings enhance the fan-cooled living zone, room to dine in a separate formal room and a beautiful contrast of Red gum and marble benchtops in the solid timber kitchen. But it's a strong emphasis on the great outdoors that sets this one apart. Appointed to an extraordinary standard with a built-in barbeque kitchen for the skylit al fresco domain (with open fireplace), privacy-enhancing fences around the solar-heated pool and a wood fire pizza oven at the heart of a rustic retreat.... there's even room to indulge a green thumb, with a bank of planter boxes and lush native gardens. With well proportioned bedrooms, well positioned bathrooms (including a fully tiled main with elliptical basin) and a widespread laundry that doubles as a butler's pantry, this centrally heated and reverse cycle air-conditioned home provides a full complement of Smeg stainless steel appliances, easy access under-stair storage, a 1st floor study retreat and exposed aggregate entry to carport parking. Best of all, there's a prestige Coatesville Primary School Zone position to suit every lifestyle - with Mackie Road Reserve, local shops and bus-route to Chadstone within moments, Centre Road's cosmopolitan precinct within minutes and the Primary School within 2 blocks.
